I really like the large font on the main website. It could be considered a bit extreme, but it made it very easy to quickly understand the product

#52I hope Google Drive had a permission that allows access to only specific folders.
There are many interesting tools built on top of GDocs and GDrive including this one, but giving the full access permission to GDrive is too scary to me. Even if the developers have no malicious intention (which I believe is most of the case), the possibility of data breach cannot be overlooked.

#53This is just what I was looking for, thank you. I already started a blog with some skeleton markdown files that I made hoping to find a platform like this. http://hexo.press/@SMT/

We use YNAW. I was impressed with how easy it was to set up. It's simple enough for anyone to use.
I saw another comment about a project that does a similar things, but is self-hosted and requires some more involved setup:

I'd love to know if anyone who has used both can comment on their experience after initial setup.

#552 separate questions:
How do I remove or edit individual posts?
If I want to delete an account and blog, the option "Sign out" link - https://hexo.press/logout doesn't seem different from the actual "Delete Account and Blog". Am I missing something? Also, definitely should confirm a deletion of a blog page.
Otherwise, great idea and implementation.

Yes, Google has to fix this soon. I was bummed when I got know there is no way to restrict my scope to only the folder that I create on behalf of hexopress. There was no other way than to ask for more liberal scope.
Hope Google breaks the drive scopes down to more fine-grained levels.
